"The King's Foundation - which offers courses in practical skills to young people - announced last week that she would be stepping down from her role as chair, which she had held since January, to become a peer. An old version of her online CV, seen by the BBC, refers to her with the "Dr" honorific and lists a PhD from the University of Liverpool in 1978 as among her qualifications."
"She told the Sunday Times: "To be completely upfront and honest about it, I never completed my PhD at Liverpool University," she told the newspaper, adding that she used the Doctor title because she had been conferred with honorary PhDs by other institutions. The BBC has contacted Dame Ann for comment. The King's Foundation declined to comment. Dame Ann was among nominees to the House of Lords announced by Downing Street earlier in December, having held a number of senior public and private roles."
Dame Ann Limb admitted she never completed a PhD at the University of Liverpool. Her CV previously listed a 1978 PhD from Liverpool and used the "Dr" honorific in past listings. She said she used the Doctor title because she had received honorary PhDs from other institutions. A revised CV in July 2024 removed the Dr honorific and the 1978 PhD entry, noting honorary degrees from Anglia Ruskin University and the University of Northampton. Her website still states she undertook a PhD at the University of Liverpool. She stepped down as chair of the King's Foundation to become a peer after nomination to the House of Lords.
